Friend, [sign the petition: After impeaching Trump, the U.S. House must wait to send articles of impeachment to the Senate until Mitch McConnell guarantees there will be a real trial.]( [Sign the petition]( The U.S. House is voting to impeach Donald Trump for abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. The evidence is overwhelming, and he deserves to be removed from office. However, the Republican-controlled U.S. Senate is full of Trump loyalists, hell-bent on holding a sham trial that would inevitably result in his acquittal. Senate Leader Mitch McConnell [has no intention]( of abiding his oath as an impartial juror, and is even strategizing with Trump's legal team. Other Republicans have said the same. Senator Lindsey Graham says he [won't even pretend]( to be a fair juror, and Ron Johnson [won't recuse himself]( because he calls this a "political process," not a trial. There is a solution to this impasse, however. The House can impeach, but hold off on sending articles of impeachment to the Senate until Mitch McConnell and Republicans agree to real trial. [Sign the petition: After impeaching Trump, House must wait to send articles of impeachment to the Senate until the Republicans will guarantee a fair trial.]( [Sign the petition]( The Constitution [does not specify]( when or how articles of impeachment must be sent to the U.S. Senate. Speaker Nancy Pelosi & the House leadership can withhold the articles of impeachment until Senate Republicans agree to a real trial, keeping impeachment dangling over Donald Trump's head until the Senate is ready to act like grownups. Any prosecutor who knows a jury pool is tainted can choose not to proceed with an indictment until they know there will be a fair trial. House Democrats should do the same.

As members of the House, you must withhold articles of impeachment until the Senate is ready to do so.
